I had wanted to exhibit Longstanding Pain for some time. The tree in the image is one I love and see often. The resilience of the scarred tree has several meanings for me including the ability to thrive despite a major tragedy or continuing challenge. I hope it will resonate for others, too. This 28 inch by 14 inch watercolor painting was included in The Changing Americas exhibit at Circle Gallery which just closed.
Thrilled to be able to show more of my paintings at several locations in Maryland. See above for details.
The issue of climate change is on my mind in two series of paintings. Our ability to both protect and use the natural landscape is an example of a path forward. That is a guiding principle of our National Parks. Most in my 'National Parks' series are views of Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon and several places in Alaska. My 'Natural Impulse' series of paintings explores people active in the outdoors.
I paint in watercolor and acrylic on paper and wood panels. The space between representational and abstract images is most compelling to me. Explore the collections to see the combination of nature and creativity in my original paintings.
